Palos Heights is underrated, change my mind
OK so I'm a college student here and It's a a small town city with about 11,817 people. Poverty rate is 3.0%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $350,000 on average. You can expect to pay around $2,138 for rent here. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The weather takes some getting used to. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Good job market
- Nice parks and trails
- Low taxes
- Easy commute
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited public transit
- Rising rent prices
- Sprawl everywhere
- Chain restaurants dominate
What do you all think? Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The suburbs are where most families end up. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The city has invested a lot in new development. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
